turkish military have carried out new artillery attacks against syria despite calls from damascus not to file late at saumur and to turkey had earlier fired on the volatile state in retaliation to shelling from syria which killed five civilians is now considering whether to authorize call support or military operations in the area. the f.b.i. has charged eleven people for acting as a secret agents for moscow allegedly selling millions worth of restricted technology to the russian military. but you power center plans a boost to its own budget at the expense of all stare at the press states and worst

hit greece an increasing number of families can't even afford to raise their children. below and thank you for joining r t thursday two o'clock here in moscow on karen. well turkey's retaliation against syria is an edgy ending rather any time soon as the country's military has launched fresh artillery strikes against the war torn state had earlier fired over the border in response to shelling from syria which killed five turkish civilians and as artie's middle east correspondent paula slayer now reports the nato member state is taking steps toward starting a ground invasion. until the early hours of thursday morning turkey launched military fire against syrian targets this follows overnight operations in which the

turkey military continued to fire on to the syrian side now the whole incident was spotted when a water bomb was fired from syria into turkey as territory it hit a residential building killing five members of the same family and injuring another from a team we don't yet have clear information as to who fired the motive we don't have exact information as to the extent of the turkish retaliate create actions but certainly this is intensifying and the situation on the ground we want to see even reports that a number of syrians have been killed by the turkish operations in the uk i do expect later today for those very exactly takes parliament on the lake the decision whether or not to even wise course operations in the area if indeed they give this the nod what we will see is that the turkish military can operate freely now in the past the turkish military has moved into more than iraq to root out of there kurdish militants and what some people are noticing is a parallel accident where you almost see now that syria is moving into countries to

deal with rebel fighters there. wasted no time in going on that offensive immediately contacted nato as well as the united nations of course this abominable act and has urged the international community for immediate action now on wednesday night an emergency meeting of nato was held in brussels the syrians did issue an apology they offered their condolences to the family and both sides have called for restraint at the same time we do expect that the turkish call for the united nations security council to meet immediately will be dealt with today and what we're hearing from the turkish is that he needs to be immediate and urgent action to what they call syrian aggression so the situation on the ground quite fluid and remains to see to be seen what happens in the coming hours. to discuss the situation i'm joined live by chuck kiddo's or who is on bureau chief of the turkish daily newspaper he interviewed syrian president bashar assad back in july thank you

so much mr chuckie desire for joining our team now turkey has continued its retaliation shelling this morning do you think on carter's response is rational. i think it's rational because as you know. syrians have struck down a turkish jet in. june and at that time turkey decided to retaliate to. the response to any syrian it would harm turkish people or turkish borders so this was sort of a continuation of this decision but no at the moment when we are we are having this dialogue here in the turkish parliament there is abuse talks about a motion that would give. the turkish government to send troops to syria now mr check it out that i believe that it's i believe that if the syrian government is

trying to engage in a cross border conflict why while it's locked up in a bloody civil war where that the step may spark military intervention continue in that fashion. i mean i personally do not think that desir eon government wants turkey to sort of. intervene in the kountry i do guess that this is this is a very sad mistake of the syrian army when they are when they are having clashes having war against the opposition meet yes but. but at the end i mean five turkish citizens have lost their lives three of them being children two of them being of him and so i do i do expect i mean i have seen some some some reports coming from that i mean they also are investigating the shoe and i think they regret what has happened but i think there should come some sort of an

official apology. and i mean they should investigate bishop take the responsibility do you think turkey exposed itself to such attacks because of its backing for rebel functions factions in syria which operate across the border. i think i couldn't get your question right that's a repository sure i was just wondering has turkey exposed itself to such attacks because of its backing for rebel factions in syria that those that operate across the border. i mean of course i mean i think i believe that turkey's turkey's official position of backing the opposition and not only to similar position but also the b d m a military wing of the opposition i mean created a huge risk for for turkey disses for sure but but i don't think turkish government specifically wants to enter renewed unilaterally to syria they know that the risk

is high if they go there unilaterally although they want a regime change in syria i don't think they really want to go on to do it but. i personally believe that this turkish government position has sort of a risk to this sort of this sort of unfortunate events in the border all right. here is our own kyra bureau chief of june period turkish daily newspaper he interviewed president assad in july and joins our t. thank you for your time. well turkey turns to the world's most powerful bodies for consultation and considers whether to launch a cross border military operation moscow calls on the two sides to calm tempers more on that from our thomas. russia no foreign minister sergey lavrov that spoke at a press conference in pakistan on the subject of syria at a press conference in there he said that he was putting pressure on damascus after the incident on the border with turkey and there he said he called on syrian and

turkish authorities to establish open the lines of communication between the countries to deal with these mutual issues on their shared border as well as other issues like the flow of refugees from syria in to turkey damascus has also assured moscow that this was a very tragic accident and that they were going to work very hard to make sure that accidents like this do not happen in the future this though it is not enough as far as sergey lavrov is concerned he said that damascus should make high public a statement in an open apology specifically regarding this incident also. has said that the u.n. security council is usually quick to condemn. elements of terrorism except when it comes to syria specifically in this i'm talking about more violence that happened this week in the city of aleppo which is near the border but not on the border in which there were at least four blasts and at least thirty people were killed and

sergey lavrov is asking for the u.n. security council to condemn those actions as well. r.t. managed to discuss the ongoing situation with iraqi prime minister nouri al maliki he says an overwhelming approval of the rebels by some international players instigates more violence and hampers peace efforts. dialogue will definitely take place as we're concerned about the syrian problem first of all the split in syria affects us the ongoing situation has repercussions on iraq we will discuss these issues with russia in order to decide what we have to do to make the existing initiatives work that is the first arab league resolution or the guidelines of the geneva conference which go to prove that a military approach is in a political and arms supplies to the government forces as well as the opposition should be cut off we wanted to work out unlike those perverted decisions approved during the foreign ministers meeting unfortunately a number of countries haven't taken in these recommendations and keep supplying

syria with weapons which worsens the situation. but there is more on the aftershocks the syrian civil war sending to iraq and elsewhere at r.t. dot com there you can also find analysis and firsthand reports from syria and its neighbor states and share your views on the turmoil. us authorities have accused a group of employees of an electronics company are secretly working for moscow the firm headed by a u.s.s.r. born businessman has allegedly spent the last four years funneling cutting edge military hardware out of the country to russia r.t.s. tom barton has been closely following the story tom what is moscow's reaction. well the russian government says as far as it can see this is a criminal case involving business malpractise and doesn't go as far as espionage

the company involved on the russian side apex system sais that it only deals in electronic components for civilian use alexander fishing the executive of a company in the us our electronics and ten others have been charged with illegal exporting of electronic. fishing co himself has also been charged with operating in the us as an unregistered agent of the russian government the illegal exporting according to the indictment began in two thousand and eight involving millions of dollars worth of tiny electronic components. in july two thousand and ten u.s. law and for enforcement began the surveillance and according to the indictment and prosecutors they heard how the fishing co and his associates used a web of lives to try and of aid us export controls including for example

telling suppliers u.s. suppliers that components they were buying would be used in traffic lights when in fact they could be used in missile guidance systems and others would be used for fishing when in fact they could be huge for antique submarine warfare u.s. prosecutors say that they have devastating evidence collected against those charged including reportedly a letter from an operative run by russia's federal security service the f.s.b. complaining of defective components if fishing co is convicted on all of his charges he could face more than twelve years in prison artie's term bar now we are a team keeping the latest updates here in moscow thank you tom. now this latest spy scandal between america and russia are also coincided with the first u.s. presidential election debate and the gloves came off today with both mitt romney

and barack obama attacking each other's policy proposals while defending there are more on the debate in just a few minutes. trimmings in this tree even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds that kwame's between aeons the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones of souls by imitating the sounds they

believe syrians can capture the power of nature. the. this is to get to a one of the five main stars of scrotes engine it imitates the gentle breezes of summer jara whose name means great hunter says the first piece adopt her. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument could have suffered a fall is gone the spirit of the horse came to his dream and said make an instrument from a tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings. and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so i called the

instrument again which means come back and this melody on the instrument is called . the. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard luck and was a big picture. right

. from stupid. stunts on t.v. dot com. welcome back to r.t.m. tara. well the first of three televised u.s. presidential election debates is now over with barack obama and mitt romney delivering a somewhat lackluster shell before hundreds of millions of viewers the themes tackled a word jobs taxes and health care all close to the hearts of americans caught in stagnant economic times but the debate took on a more personal tell what the candidates a deriding each others trawlers these proposals as unrealistic or ineffective one

such incidents all romney accusing obama of risking national security but kevin zeese director of the come home america group says that all defense there's almost no distinction between the candidates they're not very different at all you know president obama has been the drone commander in chief using these kill war we will drones and we can imagine george bush have done the star wars in in the country like libya where there was no u.n. mandate no commercial houllier those own. yes great afghanistan iran you know the same thing is they're both taking you know nothing on the table as far as attacking iran. involves the russian and me and obama's inner circle graham obama's also in circle china he's also increase their military presence the united states in africa . all these military issues they're both aggressive supporter of the us military empire and i don't see you know one of them coming back the military

you're using you're going way. very u.s. horn says this debate is an example of how limited americans are over their choice of leader. unfortunately this debate is one reason why nowadays there are those who say that what we haven't learned states is not democracy but a mockery that is to say what happens in other states is that all the candidates of the left such as the green party are barred from this kind of presidential debate and as a result be kinds of policies that president obama has been acting that are subject to withering criticism from the left for example bailing out banks but not bailing out homeowners for example or against libya they were not able to be criticized adequately by his opponent mr romney and as a result you have a very very tepid debate that takes place how can you have a realistic debate about the problems that this country faces the many problems

that this country faces because analysis and critique from the left are basically excluded basically this debate comes down in many ways to a choice between tweedle dum and tweedle dee. the e.u. budget committee is expected to vote through a mere ten billion euro increase in brussels funding for next year a proposal coming amid raging austerity in the eurozone has caused widespread outcry across the union in one of the worst hit countries greece international lenders are now struggling to negotiate a fresh cuts package and despite the financial strain the greek government is still planning to build a multimillion euro formula one racing track investment advisor patrick young says the timing couldn't be worse. you know the troika these people who come along and demand cuts they've been coming for the last several years every time they go away they think they've got a deal in the greek side people to stick to it so this time around everybody's

finally got to the point where they realize well they might make a deal that might not make it do it but actually we've got all these facts coming along ridiculous pieces of information grohl pre-surgical speech building the greek into lands with money the truth is the greek government is just out of control it is the ultimate vodka addict in a pool of vodka. and one raising is far from the concerns of most ordinary greeks two years of cuts and taxes have drastically increased the number of families who can't even afford to raise their own children artist peter all of our reports on a charity trying to shield young people from the crisis. to young to understand why but on the frontline of the debt crisis rampant unemployment in greece and the slashing of social benefits has left their parents with money to provide even their most basic of needs for may seem unthinkable and these children are being

taken into care. for during the past two years we have seen a large rise in the number of children coming to us because their families can't support them because taxis and prices have risen things like food clothing schooling and housing have become too expensive. before the financial crisis this children's village which is run by the organization s.o.'s children usually looked after kids who'd been the victims of abuse now they say almost all new cases are as a result of the debt crisis this center privately funded through donations is also feeling the pinch. we've seen a significant drop off in donations people do what they can but that is getting worse and worse also we are taxed on what we receive making it more of a burden to buy things we moved like fuel for whom. the charity says there's been a seventy percent increase in requests for help this children's village is home to forty youngsters need to thessaloniki and is operating at close to maximum capacity

i met one mother who asked not to be identified because of the stigma attached she says she was forced to give up her young daughter after losing her job. it was a norfolk decision to have to make what could i do there is no money and no work i asked her if she thought they would ever be reunited as a family you know things are going from bad to worse here it could be ten years before greece is back feet s.o.'s children makes a point of trying to keep youngsters in contact with their biological parents for this family that means one emotional meeting once a month organizations like this one of becoming increasingly important to help protect a generation of children ripped from their families due to greece's financial failings. with the greek government facing having to make fresh cuts of

over ten billion euros the children's village expects to be receiving more pleas for help in the future for this mother and daughter the help they get allows them to appreciate the fleeting moan. and they can spend together be sure all of the party grease. the right time now for a business update merino what are the investors focusing on today hi karen well they're basically digest the news that said that basically world food prices rose one point four percent in september it was like a look at the european markets as i'm saying this they're also waiting to hear a key policy decision from the european central bank the figures in the red this is see there a similar picture here in russia and that's because of volatility in the well for as this is well porton to mention that diamond producer over also saw its first net profit plunge thirty eight percent also another russia has decided to intervene into grain prices to bring them down then moving on to currencies the euro so

strengthening versus the u.s. dollar when it comes to the avoid it's a mixed picture still we see that it's gaining against the greenback but news and to be in europe and the latest the most measures from major economies that little to support the russian currency and we spoke to central banks alex a look up about this and said what is to be done to ensure growth. through the super bowl or go for the one to freeze in three rooms or with your friends in the rear and see the logic alone since it's a good one it's really you know for us the way it's always easy to the markets the words no no no you have the least perpetrate the doesn't know the ruble very much looks ability but it was the problem from the get the cone you want very soon see the trip through for you since zero zero balance it would open your ability to all the way. and that's all we have time for right now for more stores of course r t dot com slash business back to you carrie all right thank you marina coming out of

a result of my father's exposure to agent orange i was born with multiple problems . i was missing my leg. and my fingers and my big toe on my right foot i use my hands a lot in my artwork i find myself drawing my hands quite a bit to me they're my hands you know just as if anyone would. but they do tell a story they tell us a story of. their oxen. it's

. today i'm talking to the words robert skidelsky he's a professor of political economy and also the biographer of john may not keynes widely considered to be the most influential economist of the twentieth century we'll be talking about walking this could bring to today's economic crisis notes could ask you first could you explain to me in layman's terms what the government is doing to man the economy and why you think it's not working well i don't think

they're doing very much to mend the economy i think that their policies of made things worse. the sad fact is that the british economy has been shrinking slowly almost for a year now or rather like a very slow. and the government of been trying in one or two small ways to give it a bit of a. less but i think they're quite new initiatives and it's too early to say how much effect they'll have but in general i don't think they will have very much effect and so i don't think at the moment they're doing anything very much to help because there's an awful lot of talk about prioritizing the economy and it's the main thing that we have to work on but on the same time you say that not very much is being done at all one thing is that they're blaming everyone but themselves .
